So why doesnt alcohol freeze when u put it in the freezer?

Question

jus curious

Answer 1

It doesn't freeze because your freezer isn't cold enough.

Alcohol has a much lower freezing point than water. If you can get your freezer temperature below -114 degrees C then your alcohol will freeze.

Answer 2

Ahhh, but thats for pure alcohol.

Read my source for freezing points of alcohol at different proofs.  Water freezes at 32f, and boils at 212f.  Alcohol will also freeze/boil, but the points are "shifted".  Pure alcohol will freeze at -173f, and will boil ~150f.  This is how a still works, as it heats the mixture just above the boiling point of alcohol, but less then water.  The coil cools/collects the alcohol vapors, and chills them so that it turns back into a liquid.

Alcohol does freeze, its just your freezer can't get that cold.

Answer 3

Most freezers are 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beer and wine will freeze at that temperature.  Most spirits, however, need to be much colder than that to freeze.  But, they are able to freeze.
